This Week in Elasticsearch - November 21, 2013

Welcome to
This week in Elasticsearch. In this roundup, we try to inform you about the latest and greatest changes in Elasticsearch. We cover what happened in the GitHub repositories, as well as many Elasticsearch events happening worldwide, and give you a small peek into the future of the project.

Zuhaib Siddique, Infrastructure Engineer at Atlassian, posted his slides from last week's Elasticsearch San Francisco Meetup. The presentation covers how HipChat uses Elasticsearch in its infrastructure to provide near real-time search and chat history to the hundreds of thousands of active chatters using HipChat, scaling to over 1 billion messages.

Sharif Olorin, Developer with Anchor Systems, has shared his slides from his presentation at the first Sydney Elasticsearch Meetup, Monitoring Elasticsearch for Fun, Profit and Not Getting Woken Up at 3am.
